We really value reliable bike transportation, which is why we can’t live without our Thule T2 Pro XTR and Kuat Piston Pro X bike racks. We trust both of them to get our bikes from A to B whether we’re hitting the local trails or heading across the country, and they both offer an impressive feature set. Follow along with Gearheads Kendall and Jono as they unpack their favorite characteristics about these two bomber tray-style racks.
The T2 Pro XTR rack from Thule has been an industry leader for years thanks to its durable design. It’s also super intuitive to use and supports the weight of eBikes. The Kuat Piston Pro X offers longer wheelbase capacity for XL and XXL mountain bikes, plus it has a top-tier feature set for super intuitive usage.

nice review!! I feel the speed round should have included taking the rack from the garage installing on the vehicle and then putting the bikes on. would like to see that!

@derekkuhl Год назад

Nice comparison of two very nice and capable racks. Need to wait for a sale! 😂

@GotYaWired 10 месяцев назад

2nd hand market is pretty good too

@crooksj11 Год назад

Nice racks. Almost bought the Thule last summer but I just cant pull the trigger (even with a competitivecyclist coupon)

@jeffb9844 3 месяца назад

Nice review. If you want it to be comprehensive, include at least 1 bike with fenders and a rear trunk rack. Not everyone rides bare bikes as you do. Thanks!

@JWL427 23 дня назад

How about for bikes with fenders? How far is closest bike from car? Warrenties? Customer service?

@davidrenken5241 7 месяцев назад

I love how the T2 mounts on to the car, would like to know how Kuat mounts? T2 turn handle is so nice compared to my old T2.. answer?

@robertalarson3769 Год назад

can you choose to take the wheels off if clearance is an option? Seperate question we may put on a 2023 wrangler that has a spare tire and camera on back - can we add an extension to the Thule

@1104kdd Год назад

Kuat means strong in Indonesian btw. Just as Macan, as in Porsche, means Tiger. Pronounced Koo-at but with no pause for the hyphen. Macan should be pronounced Machan but that won't happen. The way the car is pronounced means to eat.

@gbern1308 Год назад

Nice video comparison. You mention fat bikes work with the Thule (5" I think you said). What about the Kuat, does it work for fat bikes? What is the max tire width?

@competitivecyclist Год назад

5" on the Kuat as well!

@jamesc6137 6 месяцев назад

Do security mechanisms for your bike come on the kuat?

@4Rracing 7 месяцев назад

You left out the most critical issue- how sturdy is it , is there bouncing around and flexing on the rack? For the Thule is there an issue when using a Front fender? video was the most basic of basic. Also its a tie on racking when you pay attention of the slowness of thule guy putting bike on ground and picking up.

Nice vid showcasing actual usage. Should have probably mentioned the Kuat is almost double the price of the Thule, which is already not very cheap anymore. My T2 was like $400 a few years before COVID (I think?).
